DESCRIPTION:Space weather is the solar\, magnetospheric\, ionospheric and
thermospheric conditions that can affect space-borne and ground-based tech
nological systems. Space weather is the cause of the most signifcant error
s experienced by satellite navigation systems (GNSS) and their users.\n\nD
irectors:\nP. DOHERTY\, ISR\, Boston College\, USA \nS. M. RADICELLA\, ICT
P\, Italy\n\nLocal Organizer:\nB. NAVA\, ICTP\, Italy\n\nSpeakers:\nP. DOH

. JAKOWSKI\, DLR\, Germany\n\nDescription:\nGNSS signals\, propagating fro
m satellite to user receivers\, pass through the ionosphere where they are
subject to the damaging effects of space weather. Under these conditions
pseudo-range errors and signal scintillations at the user receiver level c
an be introduced. The effects are global but still more critical at low la
titudes where most of the developing countries are located.\nThe purpose o
f the proposed workshop is to give theoretical and practical training on t
he physics of space weather and its main effects on the GNSS operations wi
th particular emphasis on the low latitudes ionospheric processes.\nThis w
orkshop continues the series of activities in the field carried out since
2009 by the ICTP T/ICT4D in partnership with the Institute for Scientific
Research (ISR) of Boston College done in this field with the collaborati
on of the International Committee on GNSS of the UN Office of Outer Space
Affairs.\n\nTopics:\n• Introduction to satellite navigation and position
ing\;\n• GNSS: systems and operations\;\n• Introduction to space weath
er\;\n• Continuous and transient transport of energy\nfrom the Sun to th
e Earth\;\n• Ionosphere and its response to space weather\; \n• Space
weather effects on GNSS operations\;\n• Computer Laboratory exercises on
the use of\nspace weather data for GNSS operations.\n\nDeadline for apply
ing: 15 February 2017\n\nhttp://indico.ictp.it/event/7964/
